Wilder than the West Standard Australian Shepherds

Lauren B.

Breeder of Australian Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Lauren B., the breeder behind Wilder than the West Standard Australian Shepherds located in Killeen, TX. I raise adorable, affectionate Australian Shepherd puppies for loving homes. I'm passionate about these dogs and want only the best for them! My dogs and puppies are all a part of my family, and they get the best care that I can provide. I begin puppy socialization while they are with me, and I am careful to provide a healthy environment in which they can thrive.

Q. & A. with Lauren

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell in love with the Australian Shepherd breed about five years ago, whenever we first got Zoey. Three years later we got Archer, our male. I'm in love with all pups but Aussies definitely hold my heart. This is my FIRST breed so I'm not certified yet, but I will be soon.
  • What makes your program special?

    I don't want to just give my pups to anyone. I want the right person for each puppy. I want to know they will give my babies the life they deserve. I do everything I can to give my puppies the best care and ensure they can have the best lives possible.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
